Supermarket Zoo
When Albie goes to the supermarket with Mum, the shopping list is a little unusual - but Mum doesn’t seem to notice!
She piles the trolley with chameleons, tortoises, parrots, giraffes and lions! By the time they get to the checkout, the trolley is so heavy, Albie can hardly push it. But Mum has forgotten something… what will it be??
With loads of animal-themed items to spot along the way, shopping has never been so much fun!
EEEK!!
Great for practising counting and animal names!

“This is a brilliantly creative twist on a mundane (and often dreaded) activity; it was executed really well and made me laugh along wit the kids, the free salad with every tortoise particularly tickled me... It weaves fantasy and reality seamlessly together to create a story that is an absolute joy for both my children and I! ”
“My son absolutely loved this story. Like Albie my son also hates shopping but this book encouraged my son to use his imagination and play a game when we go shopping.
This book is great for counting.
A firm bedtime favourite.”
“Great series about a little boy doing mundane things with his mum that turn into great adventures. Lovely book, especially for kids that are into animals. My boys liked the monkeys, lions and T.rex best. Cute illustrations, we liked how the last page introduced another book in the series too.”
“A jolly book, cheerfully illustrated and packed with bags of fun”
